A Call for Nominations
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., January 12, 2022— CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, today announced it is accepting nominations for its tenth annual Disruptor 50, a definitive list of the most ambitious, innovative private companies transforming the economy and forcing public giants to reimagine the way they do business.
The deadline to submit the official nomination form is Friday, February 4 at 3pm ET/12pm PT. The form can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/d5022pr.
To be eligible to submit, companies must be privately held, independently owned, and founded after January 1, 2007. Nominations may be submitted by any company founder or executive, investor in the company, or any of their communications representatives.
Nominees will be put through a comprehensive and rigorous process of researching and scoring, across a wide range of quantitative and qualitative criteria, including scalability, revenue and user growth, and workforce diversity.
In 2021, a record-breaking 1,565 companies submitted nominations for the Disruptor 50 List, and nearly half of last year’s honorees made the list for the first time, representing innovation in a wide range of sectors, including cybersecurity, fintech, health care, and electric vehicles. Many were driven by social or environmental missions, from democratizing access to financial services, to strengthening the global food supply, to reversing the impact of climate change. Since it was released last May, six companies named to the 2021 Disruptor 50 list have gone public, joining the ranks of more than eighty past Disruptors to reach the public markets in the nine-year history of the List.
Winners will be notified in April and the list will be announced in May across CNBC’s TV and Digital platforms.
